2 A Note from Pastor Phillips: Thank you for coming to worship with us today. If you are a first-time visitor, I would sure like the opportunity to meet you and welcome you personally. Because I believe in a Sovereign God, I don t believe anything happens by chance. I believe you were brought here for a purpose. I would love to help you discover that purpose, and to see if there is any way we as a church can bless and minister to you and your family. Please stop by the Resource Center after the service so I can shake your hand. I d sure count it a privilege.

Take them some cookies (with a card attached). Stop by and shake their hand when you see them mowing the lawn (and give them a card). Invite them to attend church and ask if there is anything you can pray about for them. Reach out. Love your neighbor.
